Diabetic cat with Asthma

[Nancy & Shelby]

Haven't been here in a while but I know there are people out there that have a diabetic cat with asthma and I need a question answered. I used to order my asthma inhler for Shelby from overseas as it was so much cheaper - Medicine Express it was called. Well, I went to website this last week and low and behold comes up with other websites on asthma, etc. and no more ordering from them so am at a loss here.

Where can we order inhaler from for asthma that does not cost an arm and a leg??? I used to be able to order 2 for $75.00 with no perscription needed. My vet called the pharmacy and the cost on one inhaler is $170.00!! Does anyone order from anywhere else that is less expensive? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just to update you on Shelby - he has been insulin free now for 7 years but now he is in stage one of CKD (chronic kidney disease) but is doing very well. I hate CKD as I have already had one that died from it. An awful disease to deal with. Just had him to the vet last week and binder is keeping his phos down, vitamin B-12 is keeing him active and eating well, daily subqs are working, and Azodyl is working also. He is stable and maintaining. I keep my fingers crossed he will be with me for a long time yet.

Any information on where to order inhaler would be great. Thank you.

The Aerokat inhaler device? http://www.trudellmed.com/node/20

Are you using Flovent? Flovent is the marketing name for the drug Flixotide. I know that people on the Yahoo feline asthma group order Flovent from 4 Corners Pharmacy: http://www.4cnrs-asthma-allergy.com/flovent.html

4 corners pharmacy, is quick and no scrip required. Just be aware, even though they quote in US$, your credit card will take a foreign currency exchange hit. It's not huge, but it's something to know before you get the surprise on your bill.

The company is in Vanuatu (yes where Survivor was filmed).

Hi Nancy,

My baby is also a dual diagnosis. I order his Flovent from http://www.bestpricerx.com/ in Canada. It's $67 for his 220 mcg 1x120 dose. I also ordered my Aerokat from there. I paid and they called to confirm my order. I had to have my vet fax the prescription over to them because I didn't have it, but if you have yours in hand, you have an option of uploading it directly in your order. Hope this helps. My vet also recommended Trudell but I couldn't find prices on their website.
